Objective To introduce a method using hydroxyapatite methylmethacylate cement implanted in the femoral head for the treatment of patients suffering from avascular necrosis of the femoral head due to different causes and to review the medium term follow up results. Methods From January 1990 to December 1995, eight hips in seven patients(male 4, female 3) with femoral head necrosis at Ficat stage Ⅲ were treated with the hydroxyapatite methylmethacylate cement implantation in the involved femoral head. Four osteonecrosis were secondary to femoral neck fracture, two were due to corticosteroid intake and one had alcohol abuse history. All patients complained pain and limited joint activity. The operation consisted of the removal of necrotic bone under weight loading cartilage with curet and the implantation of the hydroxyapatite methylmethacylate cement. The function of hip joint were well evaluated and X ray films were taken pre and postoperatively. The average postoperative follow up was 7.9 years, ranging from 5.1 to 11 years. Results Merle d Aubign? method was used to assess and compare the pre and post operative function of hip joint. The average score for unilateral cases increased from 8.66 to 15.5 at final examination. On radiography, the improvement of the contours of the femoral head was seen in all patients and most of them could preserve their initial postoperative contours during the follow up. No sign of expansion of the bone necrosis appeared in most of the patients, although certain patients presented various joint degeneration such as narrowing of joint space,sclerosis and osteophyte. Subjective evaluation was satisfactory except two suffering from painless limited activity of hip joint. Conclusion This method is relatively simple with less invasion and rapid postoperative recovery. It may be a choice of surgery for the treatment of certain femoral head necrosis at Ficat stage Ⅲ, especially for young patients.

PCNA was expressed in submandibular gland in both diabetic mice and control mice.The percentage of PCNA positive cells was significantly decreased in diabetic mice than that in control(P

Objective:To establish a method for the determination of related substances in enoxacin gluconate injection by HPLC with gradient elution. Methods:HPLC was performed on a DiamonsilTM C18 column (250 mm × 4. 6 mm, 5 μm), the mobile phase A was 0. 025 mol·L-1 phosphonic acid solution (adjusting pH to 3. 0 with triethylamine)-methanol- acetonitrile (80∶10∶10) and the phase B was 0. 025 mol·L-1 phosphonic acid solution (adjusting pH to 3. 0 with triethylamine)-methanol-acetonitrile (350∶325∶325) with gradient elution at a flow rate of 1. 1 ml·min-1 , the detection wavelength was 269 nm and 284 nm, the injection volume was 20μl, and the column temperature was 40℃. Results:Under the HPLC conditions, the samples had good stability and separation. The calibration curve was linear within the concentration range of 19. 80 ng·ml-1-19. 80 μg·ml-1(r=0. 999 9) for 5-hydroxymethylfur-fural with the detection limit of 0. 18ng, and the average recovery was 99. 68% with RSD of 0. 12% (n=9). Conclusion:The method is accurate, sensitive, specific and reproducible, and can be used in the determination of related substances in enoxacin gluconate in-jection.

OBJECTIVE To study the epidemiology of the drug-resistant genes in meticillin-resistant coagulase negative staphylococcus(MRCNS).METHODS mecA,aac(6′)/aph(2″) and aph(3′)-Ⅲgenes of aminoglycoside-modifying enzyme(AME) and ermA/B/C genes of erythromycin methyltransferase were detected by polymerase chain reaction(PCR) from 40 MRCNS strains.RESULTS Thirty-nine strains carried mecA gene,32 strains with aac(6′)/aph(2″) gene,15 strains with aph(3′)-Ⅲ gene,30 strains with ermA/B/C gene and 2 strains with tetM gene in 40 MRCNS strains.CONCLUSIONS About 65% MRCNS strains carry mecA,aac(6′)/aph(2″),/aph(3′)-Ⅲ and ermA/B/C genes at the same time.

Objective To investigate the levels of estrogen,progesterone,follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH),and luteinizing hormone (LH) in serum and the expression of ER,PR,FSH receptor (FSHR),and LH receptor (LHR) in thyroid tissues of patients with different types of thyroid nodules.Methods Serum levels of estrogen,progesterone,FSH,and LH were measured by chemiluminescence and expression of ER,PR,FSHR,and LHR in thyroid tissue was detected by immunohistochemistry in female patients with thyroid adenoma (n＝97),nodular goiter (n＝103),thyroid papillary cancer (n＝208),poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma (n＝17),or undifferentiated thyroid carcinoma (n＝10) and in normal controls (n＝60) from Dec.2009 to Dec.2014 in Department of Thyroid Surgery of the First Hospital of Jilin University.Results The positive rates of serum estrogen level and ER expression were significantly greater in patients with various types of thyroid nodules than in normal controls.The positive rates of ER expression were significantly lower in various types of thyroid nodules than in normal thyroid tissues,especially in poorly differentiated carcinoma and undifferentiated carcinoma.The negative rates of serum progesterone level and positive rates of PR expression in thyroid tissue were significantly greater in patients with thyroid adenoma,nodular goiter,or thyroid papillary cancer than in normal controls.The positive rates of serum FSH and LH levels and FSHR and LHR expression were significantly greater in the thyroid adenoma group than in other groups.Conclusions The occurance of thyroid nodules might be related to sex hormone.The combined detection of serum levels of sex hormones and expression of their receptors allows for a differential diagnosis and evaluation of the degree of differentiation among various types of thyroid nodules.

Objective To detect Porphyromonas gingivalis and clinical index in subgingival specimens after removal of orthodontic appliances and to evaluate clinical index and P.gingivalis factors associated with orthodontic appliances during an episode of gingival inflammation and the impact of appliance removal on periodontal health.Methods Choose 20 patients prepare to removal of orthodontic appliances.Plaque index(PLI),sulcus bleeding index(SBI) and probing depth(PD) of observed teeth were examined and subgingival plaques were collected at prior to appliance removal(baseline) and 1,3 and 6 months after appliance removal.The numbers of P.gingivalis,total bacteria,the proportion of P.gingivalis and the prevalence of P.gingivalis in the samples were detected with the TaqMan real-time PCR.Results The prevalence of P.gingivalis decreased from baseline to the 6th month after fixed appliance removal in two groups,and significant change was found in 6th month(P ＜ 0.05); The numbers of P.gingivalis significantly reduced from baseline to the 6th month(P ＜ 0.05); The proportion of P.gingivalis in subgingival plaque decreased from baseline to the 6th month(P ＜0.05).PLI,SBI and PD significantly decreased from baseline to the 6th month after fixed appliance removal.Conclusion After fixed appliance removal,most of patients can recover periodontal tissue health in good oral hygiene.The percentage of P.gingivalis are closely associated with periodontal status.TaqMan real-time polymerase chain reaction has a high sensitivity and specificity.It was demonstrated the broad potential of application on detection of oral microbes.

In 1989, Fitz defined and classified severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) and he thought that surgical treatment of SAP is feasible. Since then, the strategy of treating SAP was a controversial issue over past decades. Currently, relevant literatures reported that medical or minimally invasive treatments are superior to surgical treatment, while it is too early to make the final conclusion because of the complexity of SAP. From 1989 to 2008, 1852 patients with acute pancreatitis were treated at the General Hospital of PLA, and the clinical data of 18 patients who died of SAP were retrospectively analyzed. Based on the analysis, we concluded that medical conservative therapy and surgical operative therapy should not be opposed to each other. Selecting ideal timing and appropriate operation on the basis of pathological changes of retroperitoneum and pancreatitis should be considered seriously, and the new concept of "miniaturization of trauma" should also be introduced in treating SAP.

Objective To investigate Anti-aging function of Placenta freeze-dried powder on mice. Method 2 month old female-KM mice were divided into five groups:normal control group, aging model group, positive control group, placenta freeze-dried powder low dose group and high dose group. Except normal control group,the rest of groups were treated with method of subcutaneous continuous injection of D-galactose for 42 days in order to establish mice aging model. Meanwhile, the corresponding drugs, via intragastric administration, were ingested by different treated groups and observe the change of immunity and physiological regulation related in mice. Results Compared with aging model group, thymus index and spleen index in placenta freeze-dried powder low dose group and high dose group increased obviously (P<0.05), content of MDA in brain decreased significantly (P<0.05), proportion of CD 4 and CD 8 lymphocyte in total lymphocyte, female hormone(P and E 2), IgG and haemopoietic factor in peripheral blood increased remarkably. Conclusion Placenta freeze-dried powder could slow the aging process on mice via immunity enhancement and improving physical regulation.
